HOWEVER,
Today there was no swimming lessons. WOOT!
This was going to start out as two braids pulled together. I have been doing just my regular standbys lately, but we decided to take it up a notch. It turned out pretty cute. You could do this with six braids as well. SO fun!
Part the hair into four sections.
Braid down as far as you can. I did an upside down braid this time.
Secure each section with an elastic.
Then, if you numbered the braids 1...2...3...4, you take braids 1 & 3 together and secure them with an elastic.
Then comb the hair under smooth and spritz with some hairspray.
Then secure braids 2 & 4.
Tie a ribbon around each braid.
Curl the ends under.

Welcome back! I believe I, along w/tons of others have missed your posts! ;-) She looks so cute. I like it - simple but oh so cute!
Welcome back!
I don't know how you do it! Your hair ideas are so fantastic and the way you explain it always makes it feel very "do-able". :) Thanks for a great hair tip and welcome back!
As usual, another adorable look! I'm trying that one out tomorrow!
SOO dang cute ... i can't wait til this girlie pops out of me so i can play with her hair!!!
So simple but so cute!
so cute. I love your blog. I really appreciate the work you put into it so us moms of princesses can always have them looking so cute. I'm trying the criss cross braids tomorrow! Thanks
I just found your blog through Heather Bailey's blog - and its totally depressing me! I am SO BAD at doing my girl's hair. I have two adorable girls, and pretty much all I ever do is brush, and maybe do a "knot" in the bangs. My girls hate getting their hair done, and its a battle every morning. You talking about how its such an intimate moment with your girls that you look forward to just makes me sad. Any advice on how to get my girls to like getting their hair done? Mine seriously scream and cry big fat tears if I try to do anything more than just brush it. They both have really tender heads, which I can relate to because I do too. My mom says that I was just as difficult about getting my hair done as my girls are.
This is so freakin' cute!
So happy your back! Hope the vacationing went well!!!
Oh, I have two girls and always love trying your ideas on thier hair! Thanks for all your hard work in bringing these styles to us!
P.S. I award you a Bloggers Award! Congratulations! Check out my site!
You have the cutest ideas! My daughters hair is curly and not very long yet but I'm gonna try to do some of your ideas.
So, I was wondering for those of us that have no clue how to start braids like that could you show us on your blog? I try but it just looks funny at the start!
Love your blog!

Very Cute! I haven't seen this style before...ever. I will have to try it out tomorrow.:)
So darling... Baby girl and I thank you for your inspiration!
So cute! I tried these on my girls today and got so many compliments! Keep the good stuff coming - I need ALL the help I can get!
P.S. Do you know how to make curls with a straight iron?
A friend of mine linked me to your blog and I have tried out several hairstyles. I love them! And, here are links to my daughter with the criss cross braids!

She has super fine, very slippery hair, so any way to get her hair out of her face is fantastic.
Thanks you!
Hello there

Thanks for sharing your ideas! I will be doing the criss cross braids tomorrow. Very cute!
Very cute as always. I know what my next hairstyle adventure will be!
I snorted when you said your girls have looked like orphans...because I'm guessing that they ACTUALLY looked a whole lot like MY girls. ;) You inspire me, though, so I fight through it and try new things a few times a week. My biggest problem is that once I master a hairstyle, I don't want to do it anymore. Do you ever feel that way??
Another great post. Thanks for all you do!
Very cute & simple!
I'm so gald you are back :) Love the new do!

I found this blog while surfing around. I absolutely love it. I am hair illiterate and the step by step tutorials are just what I need. Thank you!!!!
Boy am I glad I found your blog!!!
Welcome back! Such a cute hairstyle. I love your blog. It gives me lots of inspiration for my little girl. She's almost 2 and still has her baby hair (short and thin). I started a blog of styles I have done with her hair if you'd like to check it out:

I'm not sure how you find the time to do this... but I'm sure glad you are! You have SUCH darling ideas! I love them all! Thanks for not being "greedy" with your creativity and sharing with the "not so creative" (such as myself!)
Absoltuly Adorable hair styles.
I have a little girl that doesn't like to have her hair done because she is so tender headed. However, I showed a few of your styles to her and she loves the flower barrets. So, we are going to the Dolla store to pick up some flowers. If I can get here to wear them I will count you as a saint for being so sweet to put up your hair styles! :)
Blessings.

I love your Blog, and love all the fun hair styles. My daughter gets very excited each morning and asks what we are going to do today. We have been having so much fun trying them out. Thanks for all the cute ideas!!
So simple-- I love it! Very cool! And welcome back.
So glad you're back -- I love checking in for ideas! It's a good thing we've been at the lake a lot and had swimming lessons too because we do "beach bun" -- one twisty messy bun with leave-in conditioner.
Great style! I liked it so much I decided to try it on my girls. Here's my post with pictures: http://capperoo.blogspot.com/2008/07/pretty-braids-for-girls.html
Thanks for the inspiration!
Stephanie you are the best!!! I am going to do this on both girls sunday. Wow what an ispiration you are.
I did this on both of my girls and it was cute and easy.
We did this today, and it was adorable. I didn't have the cute ribbon like you did though! I LOVE this blog. So very inspiring!
My daughter who's hair I did all the time when she was little hates me to do much more than comb her hair now. However, whe loved this hairstyle and let me try it on her the very next day. It was so easy, cute and fun and it stayed pretty well for a couple of days when she was willing to let me touch her hair again. Thanks for the ideas - I will definitely be using this website regularly once school starts!
Great hairstyle...I love the tutorials on your blog...perfect for using on my little girl.
I did this one last weekend...there is a picture on my blog and a link back to your post.
thanks again
Your girls are adorable and the hairstyles are amazing! Thanks for sharing how you do it! I have two little girls, both with rather crazy hair :) I look forward to trying a few of these on my little munchkins, if they will sit still long enough...
(they are 3 1/2 and 11 months)

I love this hairstyle!! I did it on my daughters hair and a teacher at her school drew a picture of it so she could try it on her daughters hair! My daughter loves all the attention she gets because of it. I wanted to say thank you!
Hi, I just found your blog the other day. We printed some of them out and my six year old picked this one yesterday. It was really easy and looked So Adorable!! She wore it to school and it lasted all day and all evening. Thanks for sharing your hairstyle ideas. I hope you will be coming back since I've just discovered you!
